Natural Dyeing & Bag Making Workshop with Cathy Plummer

Following on from previous successful courses at the Makers Yard, Cathy of Plum Stitch and Dye is running a one day workshop in natural dyeing and making a drawstring pouch/bag using naturally dyed fabric.

This is a hands-on and relaxed day, and will include the following:

• Natural dyeing to produce blue, yellow and greens, using dyes such as indigo, weld, onion and other natural plant
• Double dip dyeing will be used to get a range of shades.
• Using a simple pattern to create a drawstring bag
• Making the cord from the dyed fabrics for use in the bag
• Everyone will take home a selection of dyed fabrics as well as the bag

The sewing element can be done by hand or by machine. Please feel free to bring your own machine, but I will have a few machines here.

All materials provided, but please bring an apron and gloves.

Coffee and cake included, but please bring your own lunch.
